Laser Engraver Forum

Ken, This info is for those that are reading this forum. I have now Tested XP Pro/Vista/Windows 10 and 2 Version of RDWorksV8 V11 and V17, plus 2 Controllers all have the same problems with “Direct Output”. All Fail if you Send the Data using "Start" with both Ethernet and USB. Failure = R...

Ken, For the benefit of others reading this subject. I have sent the files to you and explained where they fail.

Ken, That is normal engraving and that is not an issue. The ticking of "output direct" is supposed the Fire the Laser at in my example from 1% to 21% power levels depending on the grayscale 256 shades. This on wood supposed to do 2.5 engraving and anodized supposed to do a close replica to...

Has anyone been able to successfully engrave in grayscale on a Thunderlaser machine using RDWorksV8 with a RDC6442G Controller?
I have attached the settings that I set on the RDWorksV8 program that fails with I try to engrave Grayscale every time.
